CROGHAN All eyes are on Mt. Croghan just ha now. She is to be the first township tic in the county to vote on the question '' of good roads. Other townships have ar voted increased tax levies that have helped (ill the holes rn the existing 'Ul roads and made minor improvements, but Mt. Croghan comes forward with a business proposition to put up $10,000.00 in bonds, thereby securing an equal amount from the Federal gov- j| crnment, the total amount of which will provide $1,000 to the mile of chartered roads in the township. These roads are to be built under the supervision of a government road 1a expert. Public sentiment in that be township is said to be strong for the ed proposition and we believe it will be easily carried. Other townships pr are sure to follow the lead. Thus the so prospect for Rood roads in Chester- w< field county becomes brighter. pi ONLY RICH MEN CAN so AFFORD BAD ROADS K* The following extracts are from an 'H editorial in The State of last Tues- 1(1 day: To dispute about whom good roads t(> would help and whom they would not help is idle. It is certain that only the rich can afford the une of the automobile over the bad road and to let the roads stay bad is to condemn v" the poor man to be without it?to be without a means of transportation '' that is revolutionizing travel in ev ery civilized country. Meantime, the owners and users | of gasoline propelled vehicles are offering to submit cheerfully to a class ^ tax, which would not fall upon other people and from which other people would derive an immense and continuing benefit. They are aware that fn they are losing millions upon millions of dollars each year in the wear amd tear and maintenance of their vehicles that good roads would save and f< so, ungrudgingly, they ask the poor c' privilege of giving freely a great b share in a benefit that their money fl would create to other people. We " think that not in the history of tax- tl ation has any people been ofTered so 8 large and handsome a gift as the owners of motor cars would like to & give to the non-owners, to the people h who walk, or drive horses, if they S be allowed to give it. Is yc scan Wh5 same smal RO\ FER ORDER NOV F S. ROY; Norfolk, Va. Baltimore, Columbia, S.C. Sp Colui P With a Republican majority in 1 ingress and the 17-year locusts i ming, 1919 promises to be on un- < :ky year in two respects at least, t ^ OPPOSED TO CHAMP < Congressman A. F. Lever, of South j | iroliina, is opposed to Champ Clark . Democratic leader of the next j jusc. In a recent interview Mr. ? sver said: ' "It is of utmost importance to the < ture success of the Democratic I rty that the minority leadership in 1 e next congress shall be strong, ag- ' essive aind in the fullest sympathy, < t an enforced sympathy, with the ' uns and purposes of the President the United States, who for six i ars has been the elected spokesman ] id leader of his party." i Public sentiment, as well as that of turning soldiers, favors a league nations, said Mr. Lever, adding , at "no man can be selected to lead i mocrats in the next house who does i >t in full measure believe in this ictrine." Champ is from Missouri arid will ive to be shown, but there is little , >ubt now but he will be shown, le people are with the President, , e in no mood to sympathize with sgruntled politicians who try to emirass him. LODGE VERSUS LODGE in orcu'r 10 get up an issue upon wn which the Republican party may t buck into power some of the a<lcrs are adopting queer tactics. ie of the big ideas is to oppose the ;ague of Peace, supposing that may popular and because it is advocati by President Wilson. It was to be expected that with a esidential election approaching me of the leading Republicans nild adopt the anti-peace league an as a sure road to the White ouse. Rut it is to be regretted that me Democrats, in and out of Con ess, joined the Republicans in opising the Peace League and, of >urse, opposing the President. Democrats helping the Republicans make an issue are, to say the least I it, in very poor business and might i much better employed. I.n this connection it is not a little liusin^ to lind that Senator Lodge, ith a presidential "bee in his bon. t" is in opposition to the Peace eague proposition, swallowing his ,vn words, as he at first advocated ie plan that the nations of the world ive matured. In 11)15 before Senator Lodge beiin to listen to the buzzing of the ;e, he delivered an address in which 3 used the following language: "Nations must unite as men unite i order to prcsesve peace and order.

The league is charac- |1 Lerized by them as "an Anglo-American world domination." Another German paper says, "The league is a ilraft not of a league of nations, but 1 i league of arms against Germany." Still another German editor terms the "treaty a great disappointment; merely an instrument to maintain the j ' supremacy of England and America." We wonder if Senator Lodge and his Democratic supporters are proud. , of their allies. AMERICA'S BOND' Four Liberty Loans have gone into history, and the nation is now ready ' ( to make a new record by oversub- j scribing the fifth. ! i Did the boys stop at Chateau- ' Thierry when told that they could not go on? < "Go back?" they cried, "Why, hell, we've just got here, and our or- / tiers are to go forward!" That answer is history. You know 1 the rest of the story. That has always been the aiiswer of the American people. It will always be the answer of true patriots who refuse to dim the splendor of the nation's achievements in war by a?n exhibition of avarice in time of peace. Our orders are to "go forward." There were many who made the supreme sacrifice in that advance. You are not asked to do that. They offered their young bodies. You are not even asked to risk a loss in cold cash. Will you disgrace their memories or diminish the glory of their service by pausing in the cheerful performance of an imperative duty? America's word of honor is at stake. Are you going to dishonor your bond because the puns have ceased to fire? But for the splendid fulfillment of their oaths of allegiance America would still be pouring her men across the seas. No failure is possible. The American people do not know how. The boys finished the fight; now the bill is being handed in. It's up to all of us to see Uiat it's marked "Paid in full."

C. Johnson on last Friday was a success, both financially and socially. "The Baptist church will give a box nipper on the second Saturday night in April. They will also have ham and chicken sandwiches, cake, pies, home-made candy, coffee and ice cream if the weather is warm enough. Come early and hear some good music. Bring your friends with you." We print them in the hope and faith that they will cause the people of Spartanburg, Boston, Charleston, Washington, Greenville, Anderson, New York and Columbia to feel some better. The people of Middendorf are in no wise dismayed. They have pies, chicken and ham sandwiches, fi:5h, music and cake and, unlike the people of most other towns, they are sensible enough not to have ice cream unless the weather be warm. In the thriving cities that are hungry for more population the disquiet about the high cost of living is noticeable, but good food is abundant j at the box suppers in Middendorf and always is some to spare. In many parts of the world fever i runs high nnd the capitalists and the workers are delirious, 'nil not so in ! the thousands of little 'owns, heatlhy end hearty, in Oregon, Aln'ne, Texas and Kentucky, like Middendorf, in , South Carolina, where everything flourishes except the "Industrial IL'f.pl/.n'o *v._ yir ?? i?? ,t ui uic norm ana tne "Malefactors of Grent Wealth." But for towns like Midedndorf the United States would not be safe for democracy. IN MEMORIAM Grace Leon* Adams "God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform."?Cowper. It is outside the realms of Christianity to interrogate the works of God, yet we who are human are often prone to wonder why the one who is the sunbeam of the home should be caught away by death just as the mornirg dew is captured by the rising sun. The subject of this sketch was one of the brightest rays in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. C. Adams, of the Vaughndale community. Though the lamp of her little life shone only for eight years, yet during that short period she identified herself as an unselrish, thoughtful and sympathetic child, ever reflecting the feelings of her little playmates and most obediently regarding the wishes of her parents and loved ones. Grace was a child of rare iuitcllcctuality. She \.as never physically strong and it seemed that her physical weakness only develpped more quickly here mental understanding. During her last iltnes which lasted for severnl weeks she seemed perfectly composed and bore her sufferings very, very patiently. She was conscious that her death was near at hand and often spoke of the event and whan she would see the shadows creep over the faces of her loved ones she would cheerfully and trustingly ask them not to weep for her for she would soon be with Jesus. Among her final words were quite an unusual request from a child of her age: "Pick up your cross." What beautiful thoughts must have been uavcnuiK me mina oi tne precious flying child! Even at so early an age it was evident that God had revealed to her the great truth that: "Life springs from death, and at the nd, the crown succeeds thy cross." The parents can truly feel that there is a strong tie that binds them near to the merciful Father who h s seen best to take from them their tender little one. "One less at home! The charmed c:-cle broken; a dear face M issed day by 'rom its accustomed plr.ce Hut cleansed and saved and perfected by grace One more in heaven." M.E.S. CARD OF THANKS We take this method of thanking our many friends who were so kind to us during the sickness and death of our child, Grace Leona. !'.W.C.Adams and wife. FROM WAMBLE HILL Just a word for our new school law. F hope it will be enforced in our county. It means better education for our boys and girls, and when our children are better educated they will always vote for good roads. Good roads mak.s good farms, good land and irood churches. Bad roads makes poor schools, poor churches, poor land, poor farms, poor horses, poor mules. The farmer cant work the roads any more and he can't have them worked, so we * re in a of a fix. Farmers are singing the old songs now as they drive old Mike back and forth across the corn fields, with cotton cut short. ?
